Concentration of C – reactive protein (CRP) in blood serum in the patients with paratonsillar abscess was investigated. The increasing concentration of CRP from 10 to 100 mg/l took place in 63,8 % patients. The increasing concentration of CRP in the patients with paratonsillar abscess is more frequent parameter than some parameters of common blood analyses such as leucocytosis and ESR.
